Yang Ji thought for a moment: "If we reveal our identity, Sanshan County Liyuan Sect is likely to take action, but by being evasive and sending cryptic messages, they might just suspect it's a trap."
Wang Yu shook his head: "If we disclose our identity, wouldn't we become insiders? We just want to leverage the pressure from Sanshan County to get out of trouble; we can't really become rebels collaborating from the inside—that's far too dangerous. Xuanguang Sect has managed Chongming County for six hundred years and has a deep foundation. Even though their combat power is greatly diminished now, they're not something Liyuan Sect can easily destroy. It's too early to choose a side; we must prioritize self-preservation."
